There's a popular program in Finland called Madventures that my Finnish girlfriend got me into. Basically it's a travel program that often has a comedic edge, as well as being quite educational and a bit of an eye opener as to how different the rest of the world really is away from Western society. It follows the adventures of two Finnish guys, Riku and Tunna, who go traveling round the world. They make a point of involving themselves in the various cultures of the locations they happen to find themselves in. One of the main points of the show is to distance itself as much as possible from Western cultures, and show what we can learn from other cultures. I think their latest series will be shown in the UK, and I've just come across this clip from their latest series. Here, they have traveled to Brazil and have taken part in an ayahuasca ritual, much to my surprise. I though some of you may be interested in this:
